The worst foie gras can be found on the shelves of Intermarché
Rated only 6.8/20 by the jury of experts who tasted it, the whole duck foie gras from the South West of Intermarché’s own brand, Route des Saveurs, was “not appreciated at the tasting” and has no “not convinced the panel of experts”, specifies UFC Que Choisir. This is why it obtains the worst grade in the ranking even though its recipe has the advantage of not containing “no additives”.
Even if the consumer association notes that it cuts very well with a knife and that it stood out for “the intensity of its overall good smell”she explains that we quickly become disillusioned when tasting, because its “texture in the mouth is rather grainy and pasty”. The taste is no more enticing, described as “moderately salty with a very slight persistence in the mouth of this salt” according to tasters. The UFC Que Choisir underlines that “the intensity of its overall aroma is below other references”. Its appearance also presents “some appearance defects” which do not make it the ideal foie gras to put on the plate of your guests for a festive meal, because it is “one of the only cooked foie gras to have holes, white spots and a lot of fat on the edges” warns UFC Que Choisir.
